Characters: Ed, Emma, Jolene, Kirsty, Nic, Philip, William

• Emma and Ed have lunch at The Bull on Valentine’s Day. They chat about the quiz at the tearooms which Susan and Neil won. The conversation is a bit awkward. Emma is feeling bad that Nic lost her job. She shouldn’t have let Nic get under her skin. She is supposed to set an example as a Parish Councillor. But more important, Nic is a friend.
• Will whines that he had to cook dinner last night while Nic was with Joe. She suggests he might like ballroom dancing so they can spend some time together. Will just rejects it out of hand.
• Kirsty calls Philip to suggest they meet up – somewhere away from prying eyes at The Bull. They meet up in the hide later. Kirsty tells Philip the story of her and Tom. There is nothing between them anymore. On Monday, when she met Tom on the anniversary of the miscarriage she was pleased how she had moved on but Tom was still struggling, thinking about the 8 month old they might have had. Philip suggests you need to hang on to the things you want to keep, the rest you just have to let go. They spend a lot of time together and decide to spend a bit longer in the hide. They did want to avoid prying eyes…
• Emma tries to convince Jolene to give Nic her shifts back. But Jolene says she’s given the shifts to Toby and she and Kenton have decided. There is nothing more they can do.
• So Emma insists that she and Ed go to see Will and Nic. Will and Ed start having a go at each other and Will tells them Nic doesn’t want to see them. But Nic appears and invites them in. Emma offers Nic some work at a weekend festival. Will tells Nic to tell her she isn’t interested. Initially Nic says no but Emma persists. They all said things they regretted and she is sorry for what they all said. Nic says she’ll talk to Fallon about the festival but she can’t work in the tearoom with Emma. Things have changed. Will can’t wait to get them to leave but Emma says she won’t stop trying.
